STEVE FLUNKS COUNTY EXECUTIVE 101
Dear Nieces and Nephews
Steve and Team Orange were all agog in DC for the Presidential
inauguration ceremony and have completely come down with a case of the D.T.s! Steve
is hopeful that the new POTUS’ connection (He attended NY Military Academy) to
Orange County will inspire the new President to help with the issues in OC!
Steve was seen applauding energetically and cheering loudly at the
inauguration.
STEVE SAID: "He'll spend a
lot of time here, and he'll see the problems ... and he'll give us the
attention we need,"
Steve, whatever do you mean? We thought everything was GREAT! At least
that is what you said in your State of the County report, your “Orange County
Report Card” and elsewhere; those “informational” flyers you sent out at
taxpayer’s expense that looked suspiciously like campaign flyers for the Dream
Team.
Nieces and Nephews, you know the ones of which we speak! Those proclaiming just how
wonderful it is to be in Orange County, that we have jobs. Jobs. Jobs! (6000 in
1000 days *-all yet to be verified) and a high level of Tourism to boost our
bottom dollar along with a Growing Economy! The flyers where Steve touts the
number of new businesses located in OC; shovel ready sites to attract even more
business and reinvigorate Foreign Trade. (He doesn’t do really do Foreign
Trade, the Feds do, but it is just so darn cute when he says things like that.)
Let’s look at the businesses that Steve has supported.
Maybe Donald Trump can help with these.
Are these the problems that you would like to talk to
Donald Trump about? Because Auntie and the Team see a very simple solution. And
the solution is coming this November.

*“He said the
decision resulted from the dissolution of the partnership. He cited
"personal and private reasons which I am not at liberty to discuss."
“Kikkerfrosch principals met in a closed
session with the IDA in 2013 after the Times Herald-Record reported that one
investor was an owner of Secaucus, N.J., hospital that was
criticized by the state for filing late financial reports, and faced tax liens
when payroll taxes were not paid to the government.”
**“Valley Agriceuticals had been so
confident that it would win one of the five state licenses to produce medicinal
marijuana that it started building
on its 139-acre site in the Fair Oaks section of the town months before the
state Health Department announced its choices.
Valley
Agriceuticals even held a groundbreaking June 11, complete
with speeches about the benefits of medicinal marijuana and expressions of
support from local officials.”
***“…the
resolution, the Port Authority said the country's 12th-largest craft brewer
planned to build a 250,000-square-foot brewery,
warehouse and visitors/retail center on 18.9 acres in the Stewart Industrial
Park. The lease would begin April 1. The only other publicly identified site
that the brewery has been considering is on Staten Island”.
“>Continental owners Michael Finnegan and Thomas Endress,
both of Garrison, were warmly received by Orange County business and political
leaders when they arrived about five years ago. They promised a cutting-edge
business that would employ military veterans, and held their hands out for
taxpayers' largess.
The
county's Industrial Development Agency unanimously
approved a 15-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement, instead of the usual
10-year plan. Today the company is behind in payments to the Cornwall
schools, New Windsor and the county.
Among
the unsecured creditors is Depew Energy, which is owed $24,657 for propane,
according to bankruptcy documents.> http://www.recordonline.com/article/20151012/NEWS/151019823
